The Retirement Thread

[ColinJ]

I have wondered about that in the past, but I still reckon it's a cold.

Anyway, I'm off to bed an hour and a half earlier than usual - byeee!

Well, that was an uncomfortable night! I had several goes at sleeping through but failed miserably. I was shivering a lot so I decided to blitz myself with heat. Blankets over my duvet, extra tee shirt on in bed, and CH on continuously! After an hour or two I dozed off. I eventually woke up sweating and thought it must be 11 am. It was only 5:15!

Heating turned down, blanket removed etc. I managed another couple of hours sleep.

This bug is moving fast... My nose has dried up but I now have a chesty cough, a headache, and aching muscles.

When I can be bothered to get up I will do the LF test.

Oh, I was going to have breakfast in bed but I just remembered not to eat/drink before the test...

[I will be very surprised if this is Covid rather than a cold!]

We are going to 're do the bathroom. Mr WD will do it himself as getting good trademens is next to impossible. My bathroom is the size of a wardrobe so it won't take long to do. New toilet and sink. New flooring, wall tiling etc and jobs a good one. Hopefully. Famous last words

We have just decided to have sausage buns in bed - how romantic.

What time do you all go to bed? I ask as every day we seem to be the last to get out from under the duvet on this thread! 😁

Our average bed time is somewhere between between midnight and 1pm.

Anywhere between 10 and 11.30 usually depending on how bored I am with the telly. I don't sleep well but like to at least rest the body.


Last night was one of my better ones.

Salut.
Grey and dull today so Mrs G enrolled me to help her give the kitchen cupboard's door a new lease of life with a fresh coat of paint.
Wordle done in 3 today.
I watched Martin Lewis on Youtube last night and his advice was to take your meter readings tomorrow to avoid being charged at the new extortionate rate starting on April 1st.

Same here. I don't want my energy supplier charging me at the new rate if I don't have to.

Never heard it called that before .
I tend to get up early. Once awake I can't just lie there. Go to bed about 2200.

Off for a wander to the Co-op. Mainly for milk, but no doubt get some other stuff too. I'll have another cuppa when I get back.

Crikey - that could almost be a thread in itself. What do you call 'it'?

It would probably end up too rude for CC.

Perhaps we should be subversive and see if we could get away with it in this thread? 😜

Private Eye used to refer to “ discussing Ugandan affairs” when government officials had been playing “ hide the sausage “ 🤔

I have no doubt that some numpty is lurking in the background just waiting to pounce like the other day. They usually are just in case there is something they can complain about

I am expecting a delivery of a piece of leather today (shut it) no smutty jokes.

I can make things with it (keep it shut).

That last bit a clue as to what you make?

Fancy belts to hold bloomers up.

Just arriving at Newcastle and there’s sleet falling.
I’ve already eaten the sandwich I was going to have for lunch. The Zumo train we’re on has “ Customer Service Ambassadors “ instead of train guards 🤔
